With all these thoughts
How could I sleep
It's all building inside
These secrets I keep

There's tears in my eyes
That refuse to fall
I stare at the painted stars
And think about it all

Was it your intention
To make me feel this way
What you said hurt me
I don't know what else to say

I can't change who I am
I can't change how I feel
Am I just making it out
To be a much bigger deal

The things that people say
I take to my heart
That's one of my faults
And it tears me apart

I believe what people tell me
Even when I know they're wrong
I'd say my biggest fault  
Is not knowing how to be strong

So watch what you say
Whether joking or not
Because I dont want to hurt
I just want it to stop

But don't worry about me
I won't always be sad
It's not what you did
It's the life that I've had

Just give me time
TO get over it all
I've tripped before
I'm still learning to fall

Staring at the painted stars
That are so far from real
My inner thoughts are coming out
And this os just how I feel

WOW. i really like it.
i especially like how this flows:

"The things that people say
I take to my heart
That's one of my faults
And it tears me apart"

and all the other stanzas(?) had the exact same rhythym. its hard to get that right like you did. good job.

Thanks alot! It feels good to know that people like what I write.  Im not a very share my feelings person, so it is all in poetry that I usually write, put in my book, and hide away.  Thanks for you comments!

i defiantly agree with forever*wishing, that stanza flows PERFECTLY, so does:

I believe what people tell me
Even when I know they're wrong
I'd say my biggest fault  
Is not knowing how to be strong

wow, thats really good..I like how you can just put your feelings into poetry so easily..Its great..

    "The things people say
     I take to my heart
     That's one of my faults
     and it tears me apart"

Taking things to heart may be an invitation to pain, but it's not a fault. It shows you're a compassionate, loving person who feels emotions deeply. And that's a strength Ashley, not a fault
